Over 30 years of retirement, Gray would collect as much as $2.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Gray received $57,615 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gray will have already received $178,081 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
